"We will stabilise it first in Hyderabad and based on how it is working, we will extend it to three other districts," he told reporters on the sidelines of the event.Asked about the security aspect, the IT secretary said, "Misuse is also happening...there is a need to ensure that such things don't happen."
"There is security apparatus and there are some empanelled companies which provide security coverage against unauthorised usage of Wi-Fi. We will be talking to them and work on how the whole city can be covered," he said.

Anyone familiar with the Synology naming scheme will recognise that the DS716+II comes with a support for a total of 7 drive bays, but...
